Hi there,
I'm using News module with 0.12 and I'm trying to make my own summary template that displays only date and summary. So no title nor more-link. The problem is I don't know how to make the summary link to the article in template.
Can anyone help me?

The link is compiled in the module code. I am afraid you need to hack the code to do this.

Hi,
There is a tab in the news module named 'Summary Template' (Go Content>>News in Admin). Just comment out the things you want to get rid off.
I didn't want the Category, Date and Author. My template looks like this:
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
{$entry->titlelink}
End of comment to get the above lines out
Hope this helps
Andor

Try using the following template content:
Code: Select all
<!-- Start News Display Template -->
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
<div class="NewsSummary">
{if $entry->formatpostdate}
<div class="NewsSummaryPostdate">
{$entry->formatpostdate}
</div>
{/if}
{if $entry->summary}
<div class="NewsSummarySummary">
<a href="{$onerow->link}>{eval var=$entry->summary}</a>
</div>
{/if}
</div>
{/foreach}
<!-- End News Display Template -->

Andor: that was something I knew very well, but was not what I was asking
katon: that was what I was actually asking, but unfortunally that didn't work. I guess it was missing "-sign and that {$onerow->link} didn't actually print a thing. It resulted all blank. So the end result in browser was something like summary.
But it's all right for now as I guess I go with the morelink. It looked better after all... But thanks anyway.
